I have some mini pellia in my tank as well. Growing...but really slow. My temperature is 26-27 degrees. Guess have to tweak it a little bit lower.

I always thought Mini Pellia requires a lot of light to the grown into the nice compact form and I have been propagating Mini Pellia by growing it just below the water surface. This tank gets very little light and no fertilisation and yet the plant is compact and has a very nice form. Any idea why ?

This is how the tank looks like from the top. The plants on the mesh is Abubias nana 'petite'
